Travel Outfit - Two Ways

Something
slightly different on the blog today… You know how I mentioned in this post
that I’m going on holiday to Queensland and Queenstown so I need to pack a very
versatile wardrobe to combat the two different climates? Well this stripey
cotton dress is the first thing going into my suitcase and I’m going to show
you how I plan to style it for the sun and the snow. The dress was recently
gifted to me from a lovely friend who regularly culls her fabulous wardrobe and
gives it to me (hooray!). It’s so comfortable and versatile, as soon as I
slipped it on I knew it would be a perfect piece for my travel wardrobe. Here’s
the dress on its own…

and then worn two ways...

So
easy to style right? Look number one is how I’ll wear it in Queensland, relaxed
and dressed down. Perfect for wandering around the Sunshine Coast and catching
up with my friends and Luke’s family. My converse and denim jacket are my
travel staples, they basically come with me whenever I go away.

Look
number two is for a day in snowy Queenstown. Layered up with super thick
tights, my long wool coat and a cosy beanie I think I should be warm enough to
survive the cold. I’ll also probably wear some gloves but I can’t for the life
of me find mine, hopefully they turn up before we fly off on Friday, otherwise I’ll
have to buy a new pair while I’m over there!

When
I’m packing for travel I try to include simple outfits which can be changed
easily with different accessories. It’s amazing the difference a sparkly
necklace and a cute hat can make to a basic dress!

P.S that first picture reveals my outfit photo secret... I'm terrible at doing my own makeup and hair so I almost always cover up dodgy hair/tired eyes with a killer sunnies/hat combo!
